Used castor oil and baking soda to remove moles. Will they both heal up fine? (Photo)

Asked By:ritaisinthehouse in Usadel, DE

After using this method, my moles fell off and became scabs within a week. Now, a month later, one looks fine but the bigger one is rough (dry) and stingy when I touch it. When they first fell off I went to a doctor and she prescribed cream in case they got infected (though I haven't used it). A day ago I read that you shouldn't let them scab up, so I've been massaging Nivea creme into them. Will they both heal up fine? Should I use the prescribed cream?
